Reenactor Fest V Photos

[brickhousewench]

I’ve finished editing my pictures from last weekend. I took at least 150 photos before my battery pooped out on me. A few were too blurry to share (my hands shake when I’m tired). They’re up on Photobucket, here.

The first photos are of dinner, the hotel, and myself. The general interest photos start here.

Don't know if yours has it, but my camera has a "shaky hand" setting that works fabulous, as you know I ALWAYS have a shake.

I thought I had it turned on, but it may have gotten shut off somehow. Will have to check my settings.

I should have taken more photos at the ball, but my low-battery light was on by then. You should have seen some of the ballgowns! OMG, to die for!

And I miss Gustav too.

Those are wonderful.

So here's a question, I saw a percentage of folks in the panel pics in street clothes though they seemed to be the minority. Is this event something where you'll get a number of "casual observers" for lack of a better word?

There are a number of people who show up every year in street clothes. Some are reenactors who for whatever reason just didn't get dressed up (probably locals who don't have a hotel room?). Some are probably newbies who don't have their kit assembled yet or family of reenactors who got dragged along for the day. And some are probably the general public, just there to check things out.

The rules of Reenactor Fest are that you come in historical kit or come in street clothes. No fantasy clothing allowed. So if people don't have their kit up-to-snuff yet (or don't want to drive wearing kit or whatever), they are encouraged to wear street clothes. I have a number of customers who dress up for historical balls and parties, but don't have things they'd want to wear in a crowded vendor room. So they come in jeans. It's all cool. =)
